Hints of clotted cream, lemon curd, vanilla oak, spice, nougat, white flowers, oatmeal and stone. It seems a little more expressive and creamy this year and that's just fine. It's still nicely focused and the characters are brought into harmony with a taut, stony acidity that provides plenty of drive and verve.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100\u003c\/strong\u003e — James Suckling · 2022 Vintage · Published: 10 Nov 2025\u003cbr\u003e“Aromas of lemon curd, white peaches, hazelnuts and wet stones. The palate is medium-bodied with a slight phenolic grip, showing layers of popcorn, nougat and spices with bright acidity and a mineral finish. Drink or hold.

In the mouth, the wine is everything the nose has promised, with a creamy texture and lean, bright acidity. This is a classy wine here. It's sleek. 12% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout This Wine\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA winter of above average rainfall was followed by a cool, wet spring with late flowering. Warmer conditions returned in December, followed by a rise in temperatures in February with cool nights and dry conditions through to mid-May, resulting in excellent quality Chardonnay grapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wine expresses fruit from the estate with naturally higher acidity, shaped by deep loam soils, predominantly older vines and a cool maritime climate. Basalt soils provide drainage and allow deep root penetration, contributing to concentration and elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit was hand-picked, whole bunch pressed and fermented in a mix of new and older French oak puncheons and a 700L ceramic egg, with lees stirring and malolactic fermentation to build texture and balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eProducer Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInitial notes of grapefruit pith and lemon curd expand to lightly roasted nuts and nectarine. The palate is well restrained in its youth with a sense of energy and concentration that is tightly balanced with superb natural acidity and impressive length. With time complexity develops and the texture builds further.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVintage: 2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrape Variety: Chardonnay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegion: Pipers River \/ Tasmania \/ Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFermentation: Cultured yeast in French oak puncheons and ceramic egg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaturation: 10 months in French oak puncheons and ceramic egg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVineyard \/ Geo info: Predominantly basalt soil, east-facing vineyard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlcohol: 12.0%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWinemaker: Peter Caldwell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrinking Window: 2022–2032\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVegan Friendly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51050111009083,"sku":"SK85834548","price":50.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/1540\/7675\/files\/dalrymplechardonnay_3febeb69-4c6d-49e7-961d-141071f9590e.png?v=1777596666","url":"https:\/\/craftrepublic.com.au\/products\/2022-dalrymple-single-site-estate-pipers-river-chardonnay-750ml","provider":"Craft Republic Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
